Pros

Great staff and a very energetic, fun and dynamic work environment. Always a pleasure meeting clients from all different walks of life.

Cons

The management is horrible. They try to push your creativity but at the same time strictly regulate your creativity to adhere to their own rules. They, only as of recently, have started to employ photographers with 0 professional experience. They pride themselves for being a uniquely creative studio and yet the more they hire people who are not meant to be photographers, the more they are bringing their stature down to that of a "snap-studio" (i.e. Sears or Walmart). The communication between the store managers and head office is poor. They NEED to wipe out all store managers and start fresh with fun, intuitive and knowledgable people.

Fantastic Team, Horrible Management

Pros

Fantastic Team Really active work environment Customers are generally very nice

Cons

- Head office is horrible. They are very petty. If they don't like you, they will find a way to get you to leave. - A lot of solo shifts, it gets incredibly boring - Expected to do manager tasks without being compensated as a manager (I was literally told "you have to act as a lead for a few months before actually being considered to be promoted") I cannot stress enough how bad the head office is. Because it is such a small company, they are very involved in day to day operations. Seriously, I saw the glassdoor reviews and thought that it was okay if management is bad, as long as the team is good. Don't think like this. Everyone knows everyone in this company, and head office will be there all the time. These are not people you want to be working for, they are incredibly unprofessional. They are very petty and do not listen to their staff if it contradicts with what they think is right. BEWARE.

Pros

Rewarding work Fun and outgoing environment Team orientated Great for students

Cons

Management would rather throw a write up at your rather than help Lossing good quality staff fast High expectations with retail pay Now hiring people to be photographers that have no experience High costs for a retail environment No job security No room for growth Management gossips openly to staff members Impossible to have a social life as you get the schedule for the next day 8pm the day before
